How do you play poker better, drunk or sober.

DiegoRamos · Oct 5, 2022

I think the answer is a bit obvious...
You need to think to play, so you have to have a good mental condition for that, so you need to be sober.

Sometimes I get butterflies when I play but I find if I have 1 or 2 glasses of wine then the butterflies reduce a lot so I don't make emotional decisions. 😎🍷

After all, it's a game either you play drunk or you don't enjoy it obviously drunk you're braver and riskier get drunk but just take what you think play the rest leave it at home

Sober for sour.

I don't drink when I go to play. Drunkenness can impair your decision-making, logical thinking, and concentration skills, which can lead to poor game choices.

Well I don't know because I don't play drunk 😅

I have never been drunk in my relatively short life to date, so I can’t say)

Significant sober. Yes, and the image of life and sober vedu.

The mind should always be sober) I used to sit down to play drunk, but it was no longer a game and the results were 0. You can drink a little for mood, but not get drunk

How old are you, I dare not ask) Maybe faith does not allow?

Just sober, and preferably focused.

pedrovitorcosta · Jun 15, 2023

I don't believe anyone plays better drunk than sober.... Unless your whole table is drunk and you're the one who can handle the drink the best hahaha

Sober, of course, I don't believe that playing drunk you win something, because someone drunk can easily fall asleep, or not see the screen properly

In like two play sober. But I understand who likes to drink.

edenman1 · Jun 15, 2023

If I drink, I don't play poker. That is, online poker. With friends I can play cards while drinking, but this happens very rarely. In general, I think that alcohol has a negative effect on the game, but how does alcohol affect the player's luck, this question remains open

Ketoupitou · Jun 15, 2023

Sober. It's not even crossing my mind that someone can play drunk AND good.

mattiebumpo · Jun 15, 2023

I don't think anyone should play poker drunk unless they have money to burn.

Playing poker while under the influence of alcohol is generally not recommended for several reasons. While alcohol may initially enhance certain aspects of your experience, it can have negative effects on your overall poker performance. Here's why it's generally better to play poker sober:

Impaired Decision-Making: Alcohol can impair your cognitive function, including decision-making abilities. In poker, making sound and rational decisions is crucial for long-term success. Alcohol can hinder your ability to think clearly, evaluate situations accurately, and make optimal choices, leading to poor judgment and costly mistakes.
Emotional Control: Alcohol can affect your emotional state and self-control. It may lower inhibitions and lead to impulsive and reckless behavior. In poker, emotional control is essential for managing tilt (frustration or anger) and making rational decisions. Alcohol consumption can undermine this control, leading to poor bankroll management and increased losses.
Focus and Concentration: Alcohol can impair your focus, concentration, and attention span. Poker requires sustained concentration to analyze opponents, assess probabilities, and make strategic decisions. Alcohol-induced distractions and decreased focus can cause you to miss important details and make suboptimal choices.
Bankroll Management: Impaired judgment and emotional decision-making due to alcohol consumption can lead to reckless betting and poor bankroll management. This can result in significant financial losses and negatively impact your long-term poker goals.
Table Image and Perception: Alcohol can affect your behavior and interactions with other players at the table. It may lead to more relaxed or aggressive behavior, alter your ability to read opponents' body language, or impair your communication skills. These factors can impact your ability to make accurate reads and adapt to table dynamics.

Playing poker while sober allows you to have better control over your decision-making, emotional state, focus, and overall performance. It's important to be in a clear and alert state of mind to maximize your chances of success at the poker table. If you choose to consume alcohol, it's advisable to do so in moderation or separate it from your poker sessions to ensure you can play at your best.

Kurchina · Jun 16, 2023

Sober. Way too aggressive when I've had a drink.

ghitocarcia · Jun 16, 2023

who in their right mind would think of playing with too many glasses, it is obvious that they are going to develop a bad game, it will never be the same as playing with their five senses, personally I would never play drunk, but I understand that there must be people who do it, it's up to each one
